PLEASE RETURN A LOST OBJECT TO ITS OWNER One Minute Mitzvahs: (Jewish Koans)

    • Självhjälp

This wonderful mitzvah asks us to be Mindful of what just seems to be lying around. Is it an object that has been lost and belongs to someone? It takes only a minute to stop, pick the object up, care for it and return it to the owner. Return it to its Source. The mitzvah may take you on a journey that takes more than a minute...but your own awareness is opened in a minute. You stop racing, focusing only upon yourself, and see that a loss has taken place, and you may be the one to heal it.  According to the teachings, each object includes part of its owner. By returning the object you are making things whole once again. This mitzvah applies not only to objects, but to people who are lost as well. Help them return to their owners, to their Source, to their true home.
